Standard bully sticks: the everyday chew

Standard thickness is where most dogs start: 19–24 g at 6 inches and 38–49 g at 12 inches. It is firm enough to last, soft enough for light and moderate chewers, and the best value per minute of chewing.

Pick 6-inch standard for small and medium dogs, or 12-inch standard for medium and large dogs. Dogs who finish a standard stick too quickly should try thick.

Which bully stick is right for your dog?

Pick by your dog's weight first, then by how hard they chew. When in doubt, size up — a stick that is too small can become a choking hazard.

Dog weight Typical breeds Recommended sticks
Under 10 kg (22 lb) Chihuahua, Yorkshire Terrier, Shih Tzu, puppies from 4 months

6-inch thin or standard sticks
10–25 kg (22–55 lb) Beagle, Cocker Spaniel, Border Collie, French Bulldog

6-inch thick or braided, or 12-inch standard

12-inch thick or braided; 6-inch jumbo for shorter sessions
Over 40 kg (88 lb) or power chewers German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Bernese Mountain Dog, Mastiff

12-inch jumbo or braided

Always supervise chewing and take the stick away once it is small enough to swallow.

Compare bully stick styles

All PUPHE sticks are the same single ingredient — the difference is thickness, and thickness decides how long a stick lasts.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a bully stick last?

It depends on thickness and your dog. In our testing, a 6-inch thin stick lasts a small dog about 10–20 minutes, while a 12-inch braided stick can keep a large dog busy for 90 minutes or more across several sessions. See the comparison table on each product page.

Should I buy 6-inch or 12-inch bully sticks?

Choose 6-inch sticks for small dogs, puppies and short sessions, and 12-inch sticks for medium and large dogs or longer chewing. A 12-inch stick is roughly twice the chew of a 6-inch stick of the same thickness, and twice the calories.

How many bully sticks can my dog have per day?

Treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog's daily calories. Each product page lists the approximate calories per stick; for most dogs that means one stick a day, or part of a larger stick. Ask your vet if your dog is on a weight-loss plan.

Are PUPHE bully sticks really odour-free?

They are low-odour. Longer drying removes most of the moisture that causes the classic bully stick smell, so they are comfortable to use indoors. Any natural beef chew has a faint smell, especially once it is wet from chewing.
